The year 1873 (rain season-seedtime) / 1872 (harvest time) BC is the first harvest year following the end of the 7 year famine during Jacob’s Day. There are 12 years from the return of Harvest in physical Egypt in 1872 BC to the Death of Jacob in 1860 BC. There are 3872 years (88 (3 months) x 4 (4 months) x 11 (final hour of harvest) between the years 1873/1872 BC and 2000/2001 AD. The year 2000/2001 (Start of Day) AD is 12 years from 2012 AD. 12 has multiples of 3 [purpose and 4 [4 months is identified with the final harvest from summer to ingathering]. The Bible defines the division of days for early rain, latter rain, and a final season of summer to the feast of Ingathering (Zech. 14:8) with 148 days or 5 months (Rev 9-5). A 12-year period has 148 lunar months.

The year 1873/1872 BC is identified as the return of harvest for Jacob and his family in Egypt.

*If 1872 BC was the year of the first havest for Jacob and his family in Egypt , then the first harvest season of rain in Egypt was 1873 BC during  the time of Jacob, since the Bible links the rain season (1st 6 months of a harvest year) with its harvest season (2nd 6 months of a harvest year).
 

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

An integral relationship (3.872 years) and the year 2000/2001 AD) .The year 2000/2001 AD is identified with a successful summer harvest outside of the physical organized churches which is 4 years from 1996/1997 AD (also identified with a successful summer outside the physical organized churches and 148 months). Jesus associates the final harvest with the fig harvest of 16 hours beginning with a 4 hour morning watch and the remaining 12 hours of day in which intervals of laborers are hired. The following chart associates the actual year with spiritual time in a Final Tribulation of 24 year (hours as years):

4 years was the maximum time given by Jesus for a fig tree to become productive (produce fruit) before being cut down by God. This point is illustrated in Luke 13:7-9.

Note

Growers produce new fig trees from branches cut from other fig trees. Usually, the new trees bear fruit two to four years later. World Book 2003 CD - Article: Figs
